Adventure Tips

Arrive early to claim the best spots

Sunrise spots fill fast; arrive 20-30 minutes before official start time to set up your gear.

Bring a tripod for stability

Low light conditions at dawn make a tripod essential for sharp images.

Dress in layers

Early mornings by the coast can be chilly, so wear layers you can adjust as the sun rises.

Protect your gear from moisture

Coastal air can be damp; use waterproof covers or bags for your camera equipment.
